See:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/overclocking.md

It says that setting gpu_freq sets core_freq and also says:

QUOTE
Changing core_freq in config.txt is not supported on the Pi 4
any change from the default will almost certainly cause a
failure to boot.
END QUOTE

and:

QUOTE
It is recommended when overclocking to use the individual
frequency settings (isp_freq, v3d_freq etc) rather than gpu_freq,
as since it attempts to set core_freq (which cannot be changed on]
the Pi 4), it is not likely to have the desired effect.
END QUOTE

There is more about the relationships to hdmi_enable_4kp60 and
enable_tvout.
